The shoe is really comfortable to walk around or even casually run in. The only thing I noticed is that the seams of the shoe seemed to have glue "splotches" which makes it look like the shoe might fall apart easily after seeing some heavy use. Guess we'll have to see. All in all though, I like that unless others are shopping with Zappos, these are unique colors for the Onitsukas which are already pretty popular.

Based on other reviews I ordered a 9 instead of 8 1/2 and they fit perfectly. I wear these sneakers all day at work and they're really comfy. I don't even have to put arch-support insoles in them like I usually do with sneakers.

The navy blue model looks more like black in person. So much so, that I thought I had the wrong shoe! Cool shoes. I wish the Mexico 66 shoes had these soles.

Very stylish. Surprisingly comfortable for the price. Has held it's shape after a few wears, so it seems to be made of good quality materials.

These shoes are the bees knees. Definately good for the price too. The style is dope, you can lift in these, run from dogs, and tear up the town in these bad boys. They fit snugly, so there is no uncomfortable rubbing, and it also fits the foot, well my foot, nicely. I like to think I have pretty normal or average feet. I plan on getting another pair of these when mine wear out.

I purchased these shoes because they looked fresh online and I respect the Asics name. Opening the box I was happy to find they looked even better than I expected. I normally wear a size 13 shoe, and the Tiger size 13 fit like a glove. This shoe is considerably light and has served as an excellent day shoe (had them for 4 weeks). They've held up great and also contour to your foot easily because of the light-weight build. My only criticism about the shoe is the mesh material that comprises the white part of the shoe. It picks up dirt and stains easily so be ready to throw these guys in the wash with some stain remover. I would definitely buy them again.

Great shoe -- the most comfortable sneaker I've bought in years. I bought it to replace my Saucony Jazz, which was not a great sneaker to wear all day. This one is. Arch support is surprisingly good, and walking around with them on for hours is no problem. I will be buying another color of these.

I love these shoes! This is the fourth pair of Tiger by Asics I have gotten. They are my favorite! They are light and comfortable. I am a bartender/waitress, so I am on my feet, running around sometimes 10 hours at a time, and my feet don't hurt when I get home. I usually wear a 9.5 or 10, but am comfortable in a size 9 with these shoes. And they come in so many colors!

I'm extremely pleased with this purchase as these have quickly become one of the favorite shoes that I've ever worn. They are extremely comfortable (great padding in the interior as well as great arch support), stylish, and very lightweight. I was surprised how, straight from the box, they fit great and seemed to need no breaking in. I'm so happy I purchased these and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a casual, comfortable shoe that is great for physical activity as well.

I got these shoes in the Zappos Exclusive Leaf Green and they look even more beautiful in person! The shoes at first feel like they lack cushioning and have a higher than normal amount of arch support but, after a couple of days of breaking them in, they are super comfortable and light! The heels on these, unlike with the Mexico 66, are a good height and these are great with jeans. Depending on the style you get, you will get a durable canvas with leather on the Asics logo, or a mix of leather and mesh. In the case of the Leaf Greens, it's a really pleasant canvas as opposed to a leather/mesh mix (which I prefer). Excellent purchase!

Since I have a wider foot, I went up a half size. These are actually really comfortable for the style of shoe - I do wear an arch support to give me some support due to the flat foot style. They also come with a grey pair of shoe strings as well.

I bought these sneakers for my husband. They are awesome. He already has four pairs of tigers, and these green ones are his favorite.

Just bought the gray and black. I wanted a cool, casual "athleisure" shoe to wear on the weekends and on dress down days at work, and this is perfect. Its lightweight, retro looking and super comfortable.

These shoes are fantastic. They have a pronounced arch, which I wasn't expecting for some reason. I had previously been wearing flat soled shoes so this took some getting used to but now they're perfect. I'll be buying these again. My size 13 shoes were true to fit.

"Retro". Great service. Great shoes. I use the shoes to do cross training and they are very comfortable. They look good with pants or shorts. Getting ready to buy another pair in a different color!

Great, classic shoe. Looks great with Jeans or shorts, and it is very comfortable. A little on the narrow side if you have wider feet, but it is still really stable laterally. Just a good, solid all around shoe for sport or leisure.

I love these shoes. I have 12 pair in different colors and always get compliments. They're also super comfy. My only complaint is that the white gets dirty instantly, but that's what you get for wearing white shoes.

Great casual sneaker. I bought this sneaker primarily to wear with shorts/jeans if I needed something a bit more comfortable than loafers. They are constructed fairly well...I wouldn't use them for any vigorous athletic activity. For walking around town, they are excellent. I hope to wear them out when I head over to Italy for a few months!

Perfect for the casual wear. Perfect for minimalist running shoe. Perfect on the pocketbook. This is my second pair of tigers. They fit like a sock and make you feel nimble every time. They always come w/ 2 pairs of laces (for this one it was red and white) so you can switch it up when the others get dirty. Does fine in the washing machine. Lasts for a while, my others wore out after 500 miles. If you're in between sizes go down.

Super light weight and cushy! I am 5'10 female and I wear size 11. These shoes look just like the picture. Perfect with jeans or workout pants. Great for post-workout because they are so light weight. Love them!

Nice shoes, very light and easy to wear. They do have ventilation at the front top, so don't get caught in the rain with them!

Awesome and stylish, true to size. I don't run in them, though, just work out. I have very high arches which is why I bought running shoes, though.
